8DIO Productions has released Hybrid Tools Vol. 3, a new sample library for Kontakt designed to be "the ultimate production tool for epic music and sound design – a tool created for composers and sound designers".

Hybrid Tools Vol. 3 contains over 4.5GB of content and more then 2,100 hand-crafted sonic gems in 16 different core sound classes. Included are a wide selection of common hybrid sounds (e.g. Boomers, BPM Synced Grooves/Pulses, Drones, Risers, Wooshes), as well as a variety of new sound types based on the most current and upcoming trends in the cinematic world (e.g. Drastic Lines, Epic Tonal Bends, Epic Drum Kits, Levitations, Lights, Psychological Signature Sounds, etc.).

All the content comes in a 3D rendered interface, which includes a built-in mini-browser for instant access to all the sounds. The interface also contains the custom developed FX 3.0 CHAOS Engine and REVERSE feature.
